So, what has it been like for the last year since we adopted a poor abused greyhound puppy?
If you ever read the book "Marley" about the lab, the author stated "he was the worst dog ever," Matisse could give Marley a run for his money...
First, it took 3 months to train him. During that time, I slept in the spare bedroom with him. The 3.5 month old was up at least twice a night. No sense in both of us losing sleep. Then, there is the chewing. this is a list of things he has chewed. I'm sure I've missed a few items.
2 pairs of Bill's reading glasses
1 pair of my prescription glasses.
3 pairs of my shoes.
rolls and rolls of toilet paper..Run Matisse Run with the paper in his mouth. Remember the TP shortage? Holy cow, I thought we'd run out.
napkins/paper towels on the table or counter. I
I pencil ($99)
about a dozen of Bill's ear plugs, all at different times. Last 1 was yesterday morning. Look out for that blue thing in the poo.
Wood.. Oh, he loves wood. 2 headboards, 1 footboard. Bill's bureau and end table in the bedroom. End table in the living room. End table in spare BR.
My wood bead curtain. Oh, that was so much fun, pulling the string and crunching on the wood beads until they were all over the floor.
He grabbed so many of my craft things, I had to cover the whole table with a sheet, several towels and 2 x 4's to hold it all down.
And, he loves to bite barefeet.. get those shoes and socks on QUICK!
We still love him, though..
